This document is targeted towards system administrators in charge of installing, upgrading the iTop application.
Upgrading iTop version
Install your iTop
Prerequisites
This document assumes that you have at least a basic knowledge about:
-
configuring your web server (either Apache, IIS or nginx),
-
the PHP language,
-
MySQL and the SQL language in general.
In order to install and configure iTop you need the following:
-
a server following this Server recommendation
-
a web server configured to execute PHP files (See here for version required)
-
access to the files on the web server (an access via FTP or SCP is Ok).
-
a MySQL server (See here for version required)
Provide a MySQL account with
enough privileges:
-
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE for daily use of iTop
-
CREATE (table), ALTER, CREATE VIEW for Setup and datamodel modification
-
CREATE (database) if you ask the Setup to create you database and for the ITSM Designer for Test database creation (DROP in this case is needed also)
-
SHOW VIEW, LOCK TABLES are used for backups
-
DROP and TRIGGER are used by DataSynchro
-
SUPER required for DataSynchro, only if MySQL is running with binary logging but without the
–log-bin-trust-function-creators
option (see MySQL Bugs: #39489: Cannot create or drop triggers without SUPER privilege)
Step by step
